Before Rental

What are your Renter’s Requirements?

Renters must be at least 21 years old, have a valid driver’s license, and use a major credit card (not debit card). International drivers must have a driver’s license issued from their own country. They will not need an International Driving Permit (IDP), but it is recommended to bring it if possible. Note: Chinese renters can use a Driver’s License Translation Service, since China does not issue IDPs to Chinese citizens.

You must be at least 21 years old (except military members with orders), ages 21-25 are charged an underage fee ($20/day) and can add ALI and/or LDW coverage. Underage drivers are limited to certain class vehicles; which are sub-compact (A), compact (B), mid-size (C), full-size (E), small SUV (F), Truck (T), and standard SUV (W).

Can I add additional drivers?

Yes, you can add additional drivers. They must be at least 25 years of age and meet the renter’s requirements. An additional driver fee may apply. There is no fee for the following: spouses, employers or coworkers (while on business) and renting under a corporate account, companion drivers of a disabled renter with a completed non-licensed renter form, and insurance replacement rentals, company employees or family members designated on the insurance policy.

Paying For Rental

Can I use a debit card to rent a vehicle?

No. A major credit card is required to rent from Avis Alaska. (The card cannot say “Debit Card” or “Check Card”)

When you return the vehicle you can use your debit card to pay for the rental.

Pick-Up / Drop Off

Where do I pick up my vehicle?

Go to our locations, select the city, and all locations will be listed. The same page includes contact information, a map, directions, and relevant terms & conditions for the selected location. To find the Avis building in each city, go to our QUESTIONS BY LOCATION section below.

Can I pick up in one location and drop off in another?

Usually, unless we are required to retain vehicles in certain locations. We will charge a drop fee, which varies by locations. Speak with a service agent prior to booking. We retain some vehicles at seasonal locations, then transfer at the season’s end. Confirm with us before finalizing your plans. If you plan to come back to Anchorage or Fairbanks from Skagway at the end of the season, you may qualify for a discount.

During Rental

Can I drive the rental car into Canada?

Yes, but you must bring either your passport or two forms of ID (driver’s license and a birth certificate) with you to cross back and forth between the Canadian border. Canadian law used to forbid renters from taking the vehicles across the border, however, the Motor Vehicle Safety Act was amended in 2012 to allow them to cross.

Can I drive on unpaved roads?

No. We do not allow our renters to take our vehicles on unpaved (gravel) roads. If a renter ignores our policy by driving on unpaved roads, the LDW (Loss Damage Waiver) will not apply, even though they paid for it, since they violated the terms of the contract.

Will my rental have unlimited miles?

Yes, all of our rentals come with unlimited mileage.

After Rental

Do I need to return the vehicle with a full tank of fuel?

Here are your options for our fuel services. We rent the vehicles out with a full tank of fuel, and if you return the vehicle with a full tank, there is no charge. You have three options with fuel:

If you drive less than 75 miles, you will be charged a flat fee as disclosed in your rental document. Avoid this charge by providing a receipt of fuel purchased upon return of the vehicle.

If you don’t prepay for fuel and return the vehicle with less fuel, you will be charged at the per-mile or per-gallon rate as specified on the rental document.

If you choose the fuel service option, you will be charged as shown on the rental document, and you will not pay us a fuel service charge.

What if I damage the vehicle?

If the renter does not return the vehicle in the same condition as it was rented, we will open a claim to recover any losses.
